Usually, it´s me chasing sea life to get on camer Usually, it´s me chasing sea life to get on camera, but this ray just came to me. I needed to go up a bit to let him pass me. I went scuba diving with @nautico_diveacademy today and this is the dive site called the Russian wreck, it´s located just off the coast of El Pajar in Gran Canaria. It´s a nice & easy dive site with a maximum depth of about 17 meters, making it suitable for any level or scuba diving certification.

Although you won´t find any tropical corals whils Although you won´t find any tropical corals whilst scuba diving on Gran Canaria, there are beautiful soft corals. Next to that, the volcanic landscape gives you swimthroughs, lava tunnels and rocky reefs where some interesting sea life might be playing hide-and-seek with you! Keep an eye on Splashpacker.com for more information about scuba diving on Gran Canaria and on Slashpacker YouTUbe channel for more videos about the diving here.

Octopus during scuba diving on Arguineguín Reef i Octopus during scuba diving on Arguineguín Reef in Gran Canaria. There´s a new video on Splashpacker YouTube channel about this lovely dive site in the Atlantic Ocean. Big schools of grunts (#roncadores) are always home whilst there´s a big chance to spot a octopus like this one or things like rays, moray eels and cuttle fish.

En met de eigenaresse kun je óók gewoon je duiken vooraf in het Nederlands boeken of gezellig nakletsen over je duiken! Weet je dat Gran Canaria een leuk aanbod aan duikstekken heeft? Ik ben bezig met meer blog posts over duiken hier op de Canarische. Naast leuke wrakken, biedt de Atlantische Oceaan een gevarieerd visleven inclusief grote scholen vis, octopus, sepia, roggen, morenen, trompetvis, tandbaars, de engelhaai in het juiste seizoen en met een beetje geluk is het ook niet onmogelijk een schildpad of haai te spotten!

This is the 25 fountains of Rabaçal Levada walk on Madeira, one of the most popular Levada walks on Madeira. The levada hike is also called 'levada das 25 fontes of Rabaçal' in Portuguese. This levada walk takes you right into the laurisilva forest (Laurel forest, also called laurissilva), and the track is surrounded by lots of water. There are many waterfalls to be found on this hiking trail, that´s where the name ´25 fountains´ comes from, and you can hear the water streams everywhere. The hike starts close to the Paul da Serra plateau, an important area to keep the rainwater on Madeira island, and then guides you right into the beautiful subtropical rainforest. There is one waterfall called Risco waterfall and there is also a lagoon where most people enjoy their picnic lunch and where you can enjoy a refreshing swim. You can read more about this beautiful levada walk and more hiking on Madeira on Splashpacker: https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/portugal/madeira-porto-santo-island/ If you are planning to travel to Madeira Island I can recommend booking the 25 fountains of Rabaçal Levada walk in advance, because it´s one of the most popular Levada hikes. You can book your 25 fontes Levada walk with Get Your Guide by clicking on the following link. I do receive a small commission on your purchase through this link: https://www.getyourguide.com/s/?q=Madeira%20Raba%C3%A7al&searchSource=7&partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22 Madeira Island, belonging to Portugal but located in the Atlantic Ocean, has more than 2000 km of distance in Levada walks. There are lots of different Levada walks and hikes you can do all over the island. From walking right through the laurissilva forest to agriculture landscapes with sugarcanes, following a river, or walking to lakes, you can hike to the peak of Madeira island (see a previous video for this hike), walk through a dryer landscape at Ponta de São Lourenço Walk or enjoy a Levada hike with more coastal views.

You can read more about Madeira Island on Splashpacker. There are personal travel blog posts as well as informative posts with lots of practical travel information. I´ve spent quite some time on Madeira. I first visited the island on a 5-day trip before returning for 10 days and eventually ending up staying for 6 weeks when I came back from the Azores and traveled back to the Canary Islands. I´m still in the process of adding more posts about Madeira Island but all material written so far can be found here: https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/portugal/madeira-porto-santo-island/ #madeiraislands #levadas #levada #madeira #madeiraisland #25fountainslevada #madeiralevadawalk #madeirahiking #travelblogs #splashpacker #levadamadeira #levadawalk #levadahike #travelmadeira
Travel with me to Madeira Island, this time we go on a tour called Madeira East Tour. Sightseeing will be combined with a road trip to the most beautiful places, viewpoints, and attractions on this side of Madeira Island. Last time we went to the West, but this tour takes you to the nicest places on the East Coast of Madeira Island. <br /><br />You can find more information about Madeira Island on the Splashpacker website and blog: <br />https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/portugal/madeira-porto-santo-island/<br />(a specific blog post for this tour to the East of Maderia is still to come)<br /><br />As a solo traveler, I preferred to book a tour like this over renting a car. One of the reasons was so I could meet other travelers, and another reason was that I did not feel very confident driving a car on Madeira Island!<br /><br />You can book your own Madeira East Tour through Get Your Guide ( I receive a small commission on your purchase through the links below).<br /><br />This is the exact tour I did and which I believe offers the best price:<br />https://www.getyourguide.com/funchal-l1026/from-funchal-private-east-coast-of-madeira-tour-t303473/?partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22<br /><br />Here is another popular East Tour of Madeira Island on Get Your Guide: <br />https://www.getyourguide.com/funchal-l1026/best-of-the-east-tour-from-funchal-t65983/?partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22<br /><br />Also, there are more videos and blog posts to come about my travels to Madeira Island.

Most boat diving on the South-West coast of Gran Canaria is done by small boats like by zodiac boat. You reach most dive sites within a 10 - 20 minute boat ride, which gives you a nice view of this side of the island. Sometimes we see flying fish as well. There are various scuba dive sites on this side of the island, including wreck dives, reef dives, and artificial reef dives.<br /><br />Check out the blog posts about scuba diving in Gran Canaria on splashpacker.com:<br /><br />https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/spain/canary-islands/gran-canaria/<br /><br />I am still working on a new post that is all about boat diving on this side of Gran Canaria.

If you go scuba diving on Gran Canaria, especially if you go boat diving to certain dive sites like Arguineguín Reef, you are almost guaranteed to see those big school of bastard grunts. In the local Spanish dialect of the Canary Island, they call this fish ´Roncadores´. Literally translated, it means ´snorers´, because apparently when fishermen caught them in the nets they make the snoring sound. I do become a bit sad by the idea of those fish in nets though :-( But that´s where the name comes from. <br /><br />More information about scuba diving on Gran Canaria, boat diving on the south-west coast and dive spots and diving sites on this part of the island, on Splashpacker:<br /><br />https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/spain/canary-islands/gran-canaria/<br /><br />You can also book your scuba diving on Gran Canaria in advance with Get Your Guide, I do receive a small commission if you book by clicking through on the link below: <br /><br />https://www.getyourguide.com/s/?q=Gran%20Canaria,%20scuba%20diving&searchSource=3&partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22<br /><br />Stay tuned by subscribing to this channel or to subscribe to the mailinglist on https://www.splashpacker.com for more information about scuba diving, dive destination, dive travel, also non-dive travel, female solo travel tips, working as a dive instructor and eco- conscious travel and sustainable tourism. <br /><br />Happy Bubbles!<br />Safe Travels<br /><br />#scubadivinggirls #scubadivingtrip #grancanarias #arguineguin #scubadiving #grancanaria #atlanticocean #splashpacker #scubadiver #travelbloggersonyoutube #sustainabletourism #divetravel #buceo #islascanarias #pescescanarias
